Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Therapy with Miriam Ellis

In her online work Miriam uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are tailored to the presenting concern. One emphasis is skills-based work for stress and anxiety, which focuses on practical strategies to manage worry, reduce physiological arousal, and improve daily functioning.
